    For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    I found a video that documents the news coverage (and commercials!) of Pope John Paul II's assassination attempt on May 13, 1981. We see Reagan, Bush Sr., and Ted Kennedy, among the people who make their own personal statement. Instead of hearing about his recovery in the For All Mankind...
  2. WI: Alsace-Lorrena is not taken by the Prussians?

    The French and Italian relations were relatively good, if soured by the Roman Question. It is telling that most of Italy's diplomatic involvement with the war was not the question of whether they would jump in on Prussia's side - it was if they would join the French and what sort of rewards they...

    Return of Horrible Educational Maps

    Everyone, can we please calm this down a bit? There are rights and wrongs on both sides of this argument discussion, as there are in almost all discussions. If you want to continue this, can you please do so in a Chat thread, rather than here? Thank you.
  4. WWII: German Victory in Battle of Britain, could USSR win alone?

    ...house by house clearance) and if they do then something's gone wrong. Also unless you trapped in with the gas it's lethally, even stuff like Sarin*, is often over estimated on the larger scale especially in comparison to high explosive and shrapnel! Extended exposure if often needed for big...
  5. Prolonging the Futility: A WW2 European TL

    One point here is that the Ruhr area is on the eastern side of the Rhine as the Ruhr is an eastern tributary to the Rhine. Nearly all heavy industries in the area are on the eastern side of the Rhine.
  6. FRG withdraws from NATO

    Think the Germans would not agree with this.
  7. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    I’d suggest looking at the other posts on fuel in this thread. The Germans estimated that, even with no major military operations in 1941 and 1942, their fuel reserves would drop from 2 million tons in December 1940 to just 500,000 tons in December 1942. The demands of the air war and naval war...
  8. Plausibility Check: is it possible a unified Roman Britain holdout to exist post-410

    The Romans famously pulled out of Britain in 410s and told the locals to look after their own defenses. Our records are spotty, but the breakdown of Civil administration and devolution of any sort of Central military command obviously occurred. A unified political order would not exist in...
  9. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    The main reason whey the Norwegians performed so poorly was that they were caught by surprise and didn't have time to mobilise. I don't know very much about how well the panzers performed in Norway so I'm prepared to be proved wrong on the following points that Norway doesn't look like good...
  10. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    OK, but why are you responding to that post of mine? I just toyed around a bit with the initial premise of the thread. Mind you, it's by no means a "optimize Weserubung" excersize I was going for, merely pointing out that Norway could have been taken even without the extra light warships built...

    WI Francis of Austria, son of Maximilian I and Mary of Burgundy, lives to adulthood?

    Indeed, or maybe as a second wife to Ferdinand of Austria (assuming she hasn't remarried by then) or Louis XII if Anne of Brittany dies earlier
  12. WI Francis of Austria, son of Maximilian I and Mary of Burgundy, lives to adulthood?

    In that case she will most likely end in England as second wife of Henry VII

    As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    What about the Sonic franchise ITTL, OldNavy1988? Is it gonna be the Mighty franchise like in the original American Magic TL? Not trying to sound spammy, but still.
  14. WI: HRE Matthias has a son

    For what reason they would NOT have a better candidate? Duke Maximilian of Bavaria or his brother Ferdinand, Prince Elector of Cologne would be much more appropriate choices as Emperor than Archduke Ferdinand
  15. With a POD in October 1918, how much longer can WWI last?

    There's a more than decent chance that Germany descends into warlordism and civil war if such a coup happens.
  16. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    IOTL the German destroyers were trapped and sunk at Narvik because 2 of the 3 tankers sent to refuel them were intercepted by the Norwegians. See Post 98 on Page 5 I think that one of the Dithmarschen class oilers should have been assigned to Group I. AFAIK they were fast enough to accompany...
  17. AHC: Surviving Austria-Hungary

    Avoid OTL World War I - while the Habsburg Monarchy certainly had problems, they were not fatal until the devastation caused by World War I (very similar to the other two empires that underwent collapse, Russia and the Ottomans).
  18. Photos of the Kaiserreich

    A B-17 “Flying Fortress” heavy bomber of the US 4th Strategic Bomber Squadron drops its payload on a Pacifican strongpoint in the Colorado Rockies, 1937. Following Douglas MacArthur’s coup, the Pacific States of America had broken away from the US, seeking to preserve democracy, and the state of...

    These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    I thought its just 4-Year-Old English.
  20. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    The Germans had lots of infantry divisions lying around doing nothing after the fall of France, and even disbanded some of them iirc. Even assuming the British don't pull back, I see no reason why the Germans would wait for more than 3 months before reinforcing Norway (assuming it's even...
